Tokyo, May 29, 2009 - (JCN Newswire) - In the Environmental Month of June, Japan Airlines (JAL) will once again lend its support to the "Inner Mongolia Greening Project Against Desertification", organized by the non-profit organization OISCA International.
For the fourth year running, JAL will support this ecological endeavour through "JAL Miles For Eco" - a mileage drive that allows members of JAL's frequent flyer program - JAL Mileage Bank (JMB), the opportunity to donate their mileage to this worthy cause. Members can donate in units of 10,000 miles and for every 1 mile donated, JAL will contribute the amount of 1 yen in cash to this project.
Donations can be made from June 1 through to July 31, 2009 through the JAL website for Japan-registered members, while members in the other regions can make donations by contacting their regional JMB call centre. Donations will be reflected in the JMB mileage statements as JAL Miles For Eco or MILEAGE DONATION FOR ECO-CHINA.
Protecting the environment has always been a key management issue to the JAL Group. In addition to the various on-going conservation activities within the company, JAL also seeks to raise environmental awareness among its customers and engage them in its green efforts through such campaigns.
